Fated to my Enemy

Chapter 44

Chapter Forty-Four Alpha Blake When I pulled up to the cabin, the sun had already set. Walter was sitting on the porch. I’m sure he was waiting for us. My hands were still covered in blood but all my wounds had healed. One of the perks of having an alpha wolf, you heal faster than average wolves. I hopped out of the vehicle and Luca took my spot after gripping my shoulder. I gave him a nod. I knew he was worried. My anger doesn’t make his job any easier but he would do the same if it was his mate and son. I watched as Luca drove away before walking up the porch steps. I took the chair beside Walter. He looked worried and deep in thought as we sat in silence. “How are they?” I finally asked. Walter let out a breath. “They are all sleeping in the living room. Did you kill him?” “I didn’t see him. But I did give the alpha a g**d-a*s kicking. And Chris will be here tomorrow morning to apologize. I don’t know the story as to why he hates Ryley so much but he had no right to attack her.” I said and he sighed. “My boys have always disliked Ryley. I met her when I was in the city dealing with some paperwork after my mate’s death. They believe she was taking advantage of my grief but that wasn’t the case. I just couldn’ t tell them the entire story. It was Ryley’s story to tell and if I wasn’t there to witness what happened, I probably wouldn’t have believed it myself.” He explained. I wonder what more Ryley was hiding. 0.00% 11:52 C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Chapter Forty-four “And you and her?” I questioned. I know it was an awkward question but I needed to know. He looked at me before shaking his head.

“Our relationship was never like that. I think of her as my daughter. It was fate when I met her. She may believe I saved her and Channing but she gave me a reason to keep going. My boys were grown and didn’t need me. But Ryley and then Channing, they needed me. And they made me feel important again.” He confessed. “Riley seems to have that effect on people.” I shrugged before leaning back in the chair. “Ryley is special. When I met her, she was broken. Everything she has done has been for Channing. Most wouldn’t have survived going through even half of what that poor girl has endured. But even at the Howest point in her life, she can make others smile. She helps others, even when she has nothing. And if you hurt her, I will kill you. She won’t survive another heartbreak. So if this is just a ploy to get laid then move along, alpha.” He said. “I’m trying to gain her trust. I don’t know her story but I care about her. And my son cares about her. I trust Aspen with her. I know she would do anything to protect him. Just like I would do anything to protect her and Channing. I want her to move to my pack. I know she doesn’t want to be a part of a pack but I want her close.” I told him. “You’ve always been a good alpha and an even better man. Your father was the same way. He may have had a pack to take care of but his family always came first. And if you want her, it will be a battle to break down her walls but I assure you, she is worth it. She deserves to be happy and loved.” He stood up from his seat and walked down to where his truck was parked. “Take care of them. I have a son to visit.” 26.88% 11.52 Chapter Forty-Fout 288 (Vouchers I headed into the cabin, locking the door behind me. I didn’t need any surprises. I smiled when I looked toward the couch. Ryley was sleeping with her back up against the couch with Channing resting his head on her shoulder, sleeping. Aspen was lying with his head on a pillow in her lap, she had an arm draped over him. My heart swelled as I sat down in the chair, watching them sleep.

“This could be our family.” Gunner purred, finally calming down after what happened earlier. “I want this to be our family. I want Ryley. I don’t care about,her past as long as we are her future.” I told him. I didn’t have the heart to move them. Instead, I watched them before I fell asleep. I awoke to the smell of coffee. Opening my eyes, the floor in front of the couch was now cleaned up. “I put the boys to bed. It’s early and they are still tired.” Riley said as she placed a mug of coffee on the table beside me. She had a mug in her hand for herself as she took a seat on the couch beside me. “How are you feeling?” I asked her, taking a sip of my coffee. “I’m okay.” She mumbled as she cuddled into herself. “I’m sorry, Blake.” She whispered. I put down the mug and moved to sit beside her. “This is not your fault,” I told her before she broke into s*bs. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her against my chest. “He could have hurt the boys,” she sobbed, as she gripped my shirt and burrowed her face into me. “But he didn’t. And the boys may not have their wolves yet.but they are strong. And I know you would never let anything happen to them. I 59 49% Chapter Forty Four 288 Wouchers trust you to take care of my son, Ryley, that hasn’t changed.” I said into her hair as I held her close. She nodded against me. “How are your wounds?” I asked her after her s*bs had calmed down. I knew she needed to get her emotions out after the scare she must have had. “Healed. I was more worried about the boys.” She answered, wiping away her tears as she pulled away from me. I didn’t push her but I knew the wounds couldn’t have healed that fast. There was too much blood and I saw the lacerations. They were deep. “Thank you for keeping them safe. And you don’t have to worry about Chris or that pack again.” 99 109
